Attendance thing is just dumb. I’d say you could do a decent amount more than 15% and could still be distant and wear your mask. There’s more people in some churches than what will be allowed at these games. But oh well.

I know admin at Waverly are trying to come up with many ways to get more people in. Such as looking into allowing people to stand along the fence and bringing in additional bleachers from the baseball and softball fields. Also may ask about getting some from Bristol park.

I noticed on that youtube video the quarterback's name is Crouch.

Is he the brother of the NC QB that went to Illinois?

I'm not familiar with the Rine kid but from the video it seemed that Crouch was the starter/got the majority of the reps.

Even if they can bump legitimate seating to 4,000 over their current 2,600, the max crowd would still be 600 with the 15 percent rule. At 2,600 they would be looking at a max attendance of 390. Is it worth the effort and cost for an extra 210 fans?

Attendance policy is very dumb. I don’t agree with it at all! It’s not fair to the players who have more than 2 people in just their immediate family or step family that is just as involved! I think if you live in the same household, they should all be allowed to come.

In my honest opinion, they need to make it where if you want to come watch a live sporting event, come at your own will. If you are scared or feel like you shouldn’t go, then don’t go. And if masks are the save all, then mandate all who come watch to wear a mask.

Mark my words, come playoff time, there will magically be allowed a higher number of fans in the stands so the OHSAA doesn’t lose anymore money than what they already have.

Not sure if you know this or not, but masks are mandatory per the statewide order for attendance.

Re: coming/not coming to games - has nothing to do with individual safety, has everything to do with community spread of COVID.

Back to the game discussion, any news out of either camp as to injuries, preparation, what to expect ?

Idk why it would be extra cost to bring those bleachers in. But I guarantee if you ask any of the players, coaches or anyone in Waverly for that matter if an extra 210 fans would be worth it, I’m not sure anyone would say no. These families who have to pick and choose which two members get to go watch their loved one play, would I’m sure love to have an extra ticket or two.

I would not expect to see either Shoemaker or Barnett suit up for Waverly Friday night. Neither participated in the scrimmage this past Friday, so as far as I’ve heard everyone should be good to go that played last week.

Also, just a side thought that I noticed from the scrimmage. The new rule where the refs can’t touch the football at all is terrible. It slows the game down so much and honestly doesn’t make much sense. I know some of the officials were complaining at the scrimmage about how stupid they thought the rule was. The rule could effect teams slightly who look to play up tempo.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

smurray, and friends and neighbors == good luck to the waverly tigers this year. go tigers.

WOW, I didn’t know that was a guideline - STUPID!!! All the players can touch it but not an official....

[packers80]

The attendance policy will definitely expand once the tournament starts. Ohsaa has to try and recover the money they've lost.

Very stupid! The refs use a bean bag to spot then the center has to spot the ball. Ball boys have to throw or run it in if new balls are needed.

[mglight88]

How are coaches going to be able to ask for a first down measurement. Can't bring out the lie-to-gain sticks on a bean bag! CRAZY!!

So, teams will he slowed down by who? They keep the ball, thus just have to get back to the line

The chain-gang still sets the disc, though. So... not a big deal?

I’m just basing things off the scrimmage. It slowed the game down, for whatever reason. Maybe it was just since it is not how things are usually done so getting used to the new rule may take everyone some time to adjust.
